If you want everyone to share one passphrase, use PSK (a.k.a.If you want good security without a lot of hassles, use WPA2-Personal, with only the "AES" (also known as "AES-CCMP") cipher enabled.įor your encryption, use WPA2 (no WEP, no WPA) with AES-CCMP (no WEP, no TKIP).
I apologize for this type of questions, I am not expert in this area and basically what I know is the order of encryptions from least secure to most secure (WEP < WPA < WPA2) and that the fact that longer key means more secure key. Does this mean that WPA uses some unified key length? I have also noticed that under WPA there is no more option for choosing bits for key length (64 or 128) as it was in WEP.Now it seems that there are several WPA encryptions that can be used. What does those options (TKIP, AES, TKIP + AES) under "WPA Encryption" mean? I was thinking that WPA differs from WEP and this is the whole story.What are differences between Personal vs Enterprise authentication methods?.How is possible that I can also use both WEP and WPA together? Is this allowed by wireless standard or is it just mistake from router vendor?.
In contrast "WPA Encryption" option is available only if some of following "Authentication Method" were chosen - WPA-Personal I am just exploring the web interface of the router and I have noticed that the router allows me to use "WEP Encryption" option no matter which "Authentication Method" I've chosen (it also works under "Open System"). Now after a long time I want to explore what is the best security that my router offers. WPA Pre-Shared Key: # Here I fill my secret password I've set it some time ago and did not changed it because it simply works: Authentication Method: Availability of those options is depending upon which "Authentication Method" was chosen. I am using older SOHO router wl500gP (it is v1 but I think this is not important) with custom Oleg firmware which allows me to use one of the following "Authentication Method": Authentication Method:īellow are further options available on my router.
